Citizen-soldiers in a changing world: A conversation with your Army Reserve Brigade Commander
2026-03-19 18:30 - 20:30 | Gathering Space, John E. Robbins Library, Canada
Colonel Evelyn Kotzer, Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group
Canada faces an uncertain future in a rapidly changing world. Great power rivalry is intensifying, while the once-vaunted rules-based international order continues to erode in the face of ruptures. With our security and interests under increasing threat, and growing doubts that some of our traditional allies will always act in our best interests, Canada’s own strength may soon be tested.

Answering this call has, and continues to, fall in no small part to the Army Reserve. These citizen-soldiers put aside civilian careers to serve when the nation calls, from the militias of pre-Confederation to today’s hardening of NATO’s eastern flank.

Join us for a fireside discussion with Colonel Evelyn Kotzer, Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group and its part-time citizen soldiers of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwestern Ontario, on how the Army Reserve is preparing to meet these challenges.

Refreshments will be provided.
